1 Saskatchewan Drug Information Service Regina Qu Appelle Health Region Contract On-Call Drug Information Service Annual Report College of Pharmacy and Nutrition, University of Saskatchewan 110 Science Place, Saskatoon SK S7N 5C9 T: (306) , (306) F: (306)
2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Saskatchewan Drug Information Service (SDIS) on-call service received 3106 calls during the past fiscal year, April 1 st 2009 to March 31 st This is an average of 8.5 calls per evening shift. The cost per call was $ Most of the calls (79 %) were transfers from HealthLine nurses. The majority (81 %) of callers were women. Two-thirds of the calls were placed by persons between the ages of 19 and 49 years. Calls were received from all Saskatchewan health regions. Thirty-two percent of calls originated in the Saskatoon health region and 21 % in the Regina Qu Appelle region. The most common question categories were dose/administration, adverse reactions, drugs in pregnancy and lactation, drug interaction and general information. Up to five minutes of research was sufficient to provide responses for 73 % of the questions. Finding information for the remaining 27 % required more lengthy research. Verbal responses to callers took up to 5 minutes for 58 % of questions. Longer explanations or discussion were necessary to respond to 42 % of callers. Eighty-six percent of the calls were rated as not serious, 13 % as potentially serious and 1 % as serious. The demand for drug information service during the evening hours over the past fiscal year was significantly higher than during the previous year. Some of this increase was likely due to the fall H1N1 influenza pandemic. Monthly totals were, however, consistently higher than those in the previous year suggesting there is a growing demand for access to drug information during the evening hours. Collaboration between HealthLine nurses and SDIS drug information consultants provided Saskatchewan healthcare consumers with convenient access to reliable drug information during the evenings. This likely decreased the number of calls to late-night pharmacies and reduced inappropriate use of hospital emergency departments. 2
3 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Saskatchewan Drug Information Service The Saskatchewan Drug Information Service (SDIS) is an on request, no-charge drug information service staffed by licensed pharmacists. SDIS maintains two toll-free telephone services: one for healthcare professionals and one for healthcare consumers. The two major sponsors of SDIS are Saskatchewan Health and the Saskatchewan College of Pharmacists. The consumer arm of SDIS provides the general public with access to objective, accurate and current information on prescription drugs, over-thecounter medications and herbal products. The toll-free telephone line is staffed by trained drug information pharmacists. Requests for information can also be submitted by voic , fax or by filling out a question template on the SDIS website at SDIS On-Call Service Provision of on-call drug information by SDIS was initiated with a three month pilot study, December 2007 to March The pilot study indicateded that there was a demand for on-call drug information for the general public and SDIS was subsequently contracted by HealthLine to continue providing this service. HealthLine is a free, confidential 24-hour health advice telephone line, staffed by registered nurses. It is a Saskatchewan Government program, with service provided by Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region. Funding for the SDIS on-call service is provided by Saskatchewan Health and administered by HealthLine. After 5 PM and until midnight weekdays, weekends and holidays, a drug information pharmacist is available to answer questions from the general public on an on-call basis. Calls after office hours are rerouted to the on-call pharmacist. This pharmacist has remote access to the SDIS consumer line computer and the resources available on this computer. In addition, pharmacists are provided with commonly used textbooks not available in electronic format. HealthLine and SDIS provide complimentary information to callers, thus the collaboration between the two services works well. Calls to HealthLine are triaged by HealthLine nurses and drug-related questions are referred to SDIS. When calls are transferred directly to the SDIS consultant by the HealthLine, the nurse provides the drug information consultant with contact information for the caller, a brief review of the question and any recommendations that have been made regarding the need for medical attention. This prevents repetitive questioning that might irritate the caller and enables the drug information consultant to reinforce recommendations made by the nurse. If the call is inadvertently cut off, having the caller s contact information enables the drug information to reconnect with the caller. The on-call model of service gives pharmacists the opportunity to work from home. It allows SDIS to employ pharmacists at times when, and places where, they might not otherwise have been able to work professionally, thus giving pharmacists more flexibility and making better use of pharmacy human resources. 3
4 Number 2.0 Utilization Statistics 2.1 Call numbers A total of 3106 calls were received between April 1, 2009 and March 31 st, 2010, an increase of 13 % (362 calls) compared with the previous year. As illustrated in Figure 1, call numbers were relatively consistent over the spring and summer then peaked in November (corresponding with the H1N1 pandemic), dropped in January but rose again in February and March. The average number of calls over the entire year was 8.5 calls / 7 hour shift. Figure 1: Average number of calls / evening / month Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar 2.2 Source of Calls The majority (79 %) of calls were transfers from the HealthLine.

Callers were provided with information and / or advice and no further intervention was considered necessary. (Table 4) Table 4: Severity Rating of Calls Severity Number of Calls (%) Description Not serious 2675 ( 86 %) No further action required Potentially serious 414 ( 13 %) Information immediately available is provided, caller is referred to appropriate healthcare professional Serious 17 (1 %) Caller is referred immediately to the Saskatchewan Poison Centre or nearest hospital emergency department 9
10 3.0 Personnel The SDIS on-call service currently employs ten licensed Saskatchewan pharmacists on a casual basis as drug information consultants. Five consultants provide their service from Saskatoon, two from Prince Albert, three from Regina, and one from Swift Current. 4.0 Discussion SDIS on-call service responded to an average of 8.5 calls per evening shift between April 1 st, 2009 and March 31 st, 2010, an increase on average of one call per shift compared with the previous year. Some of this increase was likely due to the fall H1N1 influenza pandemic. However, monthly totals were consistently higher than the previous year which suggests there is a growing demand for access to drug information during the evening hours. Most of the calls were rated as not serious. Callers were given information and / or advice and no further intervention was considered necessary. Having SDIS consultants on call during the evening may therefore reduce unnecessary calls to physicians and 24 hour pharmacies and unnecessary visits to hospital emergency departments. The collaboration between SDIS and HealthLine continues to work very well. Representatives from SDIS met with the HealthLine director and managers at the HealthLine call centre in May 2009 and again in January The few issues which arose during the year were resolved over the telephone by the SDIS manager and HealthLine director and managers. The HealthLine director attended the SDIS annual Advisory Board meeting in Saskatoon in August Future initiatives discussed included improving the current cell phone system of communication between HealthLine and SDIS and the possibility of HealthLine stations in the SDIS office in the new University of Saskatchewan Health Sciences building currently under construction. 7.0 Recommendations / Future Priorities That SDIS continue to provide on-call service to Saskatchewan healthcare consumers from 5 PM to 12 midnight. The increase in call volume over the past year suggests this service is both needed and desired That SDIS consultants be given an increase of $0.50/call effective April 1, This increase has been included in the attached budget for That SDIS and HealthLine investigate options to improve the communication system currently being used by the on-call service. That SDIS and the HealthLine continue to investigate strategies to collaborate on office and human resources. 10
